Collapse all
|As a public servant I have served on three White House Commissions under Republican and Democrat presidents. In addition, I have served on various Governor's Commissions in Ohio, Illinois, and Florida as well as direct consultants to former Senator Peter Fitzgerald (Illinois-R) and Senator Richard Durbin (Illinois-D).
Internationally, I have served as an advisor to the U.S. State Department while also being nominated for the United States Ambassador post of Guyana, South America. I have spoken at several United Nation forums as well as international meetings and legislatures in Brazil, Jamaica, Panama, Ghana, Senegal, England, Libya, Cuba, Egypt and the Dominican Republic. I am also bilingual--Portuguese as a second language.
I am an Afro-Latino. My father is from Porta Limon, Costa Rica and my mother who is an African-American, her father is from Jacmel, Haiti. My siblings were born and reared in Colon, Panama.
I am a former professional boxing sparring partner as well as former collegiate track runner for Bethune Cookman University.- 1. The Interest of the people comes before Party Politics. That is, our political system has become polarized and stagnant with juvenile petty partisan differences. In this light each party works tirelessly to establish sound bites, political theatrics and misinformation to negate the arguments of their competitor. Today's politicians who know little to nothing of American Political History; don't realize that our founding fathers saw politics as a gentile profession that fostered civility. Political leaders--the gentlemen of thought were viewed as the best of society; but today, the American people view both chambers as wealthy brats who have turned their backs on the American people. Congress will be the House of the People again.
- 2. I will tell the truth. The political system has been regulated into the inner rings of Hades. It is the place where truth dies and double talk is born. Americans are strong, brilliant, and a resilient people. In addition, we are a forgiving people. But, when you filter the truth with lies, deceptions and made up enemies instead of taking responsibility of your own actions; Americans begin to resent their government. Our campaign will be honest and straight with our constituents, the voters. If given raw data of where we stand with homelessness, inflation, poverty, military conflicts, and other grave areas. Americans as a group, a nation will come together to find solutions to our problems. We aren't a Republic; we are a Democracy.
- 3. Rebuild our District; Rebuild our American Infrastructure. The structural integrity of our infrastructure is falling apart. Electric grids, pipelines, roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals fresh drinking waterways, and public buildings are in need of repair throughout the nation. However, the greatest infrastructure repair is with the American people. As a group--Americans feel betrayed, isolated, discarded by the government that they pay into and trusted. Americans feel that Congress and the Oval office give more favor to non-Americans. It is not that we are bigoted and hateful; but rather, hurt and rejected. We will bring a voice and a movement of hope & rejuvenation back to the American people.
2. Environment: Pollutes in Central Florida's Fresh Water supply is at a dangerously high level. Bacteria, chemicals has caused the rise of cancers in our region. Pollutes is having an effect on Black maternal mortality in child birth. Black women are dying 3 times the rate of their counterparts when giving birth.
3. Immigration: The rapid influx of illegal immigrants is taking a toll on the American economy, infrastructure, economy, and social welfare state. The divide is wide and potentially has the seeds of violence.
Courage--when my father was deported for entering the nation illegally he did not cry, moan, and protested to stay in the nation. He went back to Porta Limon, Costa Rica, got his papers in order and reentered the United States with dignity and strength. For his efforts he became successful businessman, pastor, diplomat and member of President Gerald Ford's Civil Rights Commission.
Genna Rae McNeil. "Groundwork: Charles Hamilton Houston and the Struggle for Civil Rights.
Both manuscripts, one authored by me, lays out a philosophy of constructive "social engineering" that focuses on creating a dynamic to make a better, and more holistic society. The major actor within this framework is Charles Hamilton Houston. Houston, the father of the Civil Rights Litigation movement who was influenced by Jewish legal scholar and Harvard Professor Felix Frankfurter who later served on the US Supreme Court urged Houston to develop a construct to review and analyze the law within the confines of making society better. With this perspective Houston went on to build Howard Law School into an amazing institution created a new "School" of learning--Civil Rights.
At Howard, Houston, the professor and Dean who became known as "Old Iron Shoes" stated that the representation of the polarized, the oppressed, the mistreated is the obligation of revolutionary attorney, politician, and the statesmen. In this light he stated, that the lawyer or politician was either a "social engineer that benefits the progressive growth of a people and society; or a parasite on society."
2. Secondly, the official must be independent in thought with strong constitutional convictions to their district. It is not brave nor admirable to always line of with a pack, group, or gang to make a point. In elementary school we referred to this action as following a crowd. They must have the strength to say no to political wolves who's only mission in congress is to make a political point as oppose to representing the will of the people.
2. You must understand your mission. What is your role as a Congressperson. Within this framework you must know that you're there to represent the community that you're from. You're not in Congress to represent yourself!
3. Have a clear and appreciated value of the past and detailed vision of the future while sharing the values that your community enunciates.
4. Highlight the concerns of your community while aligning their views to larger American body of what is good for the nation.
Congresspersons represent the State while Representatives reflects and heads a District. That is, Congressmen by the very function of the job has a closer relationship to the people of the District. As James Madison stated, the Representatives are completely moved and directed by the will of the people. It is the only branch of government that the people directly elected members of the Federal government.
2. Armed Services
3. Foreign Affairs
4. Homeland Security
5. Science, Space and Technology
6. Energy and Commerce
Secondly, the country financially is headed in the wrong direction. Every month $1 trillion is added to the debt. Frankly, there is no way that the United States can pay for the debt. We do not only owe the American people money but such nations like England, China, India and Germany. Americans should know were their money has gone and the reasons that we're in debt. In addition, the American public should know that everyday more nations are replacing the dollar as their favorite currency of trade. The point, is that the citizenry should be aware that the moment of the Global South to replace the dollar will have grave effects in the domestic sphere of our lives. Americans should know what is taking place.
